Dunstable duo
The last two active steam locomotives at Dunstable cement works were a pair of Andrew Barclay 0.4.0STs, outliving the rest of the fleet by fifteen years. This scene at the shed in April 1965 records PUNCH HULL (776/96) and in the background TOM PARRY (2015/35), neither looking as if they has worked for some time, the former presumably dragged out of it's home by one of the diesels.
Both were sold for preservation and moved for storage at the old Dunstable Town station in March 1967, later passing to the new centre at Quainton Road, from where they subsequently moved on to elsewhere.
